If Trump had been our president instead of Lincoln during the Civil War, how would he have changed history? Here are some possibilities:
1. His inaugural addresses would have featured malice for all rather than none;
2. He would have tried to kill Jefferson Davis;
3. He would have threatened the Confederacy with fire and fury, while concurrently negotiating a deal to guarantee the continuing existence of slavery; and
4. He would have threatened to take the cotton and the slaves, since the Confederacy had no oil.
